It was the 13th-seeded Frenchman's first ATP Tour title of the season and the 11th of his career. He beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic and eighth-seeded Andy Murray last week and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov at the weekend.

Tsonga improved to 5-11 against Federer.

Federer dropped to 2-5 in finals this season, with his victories coming in Dubai and Halle.
